Name	Note to Survivors
Micki UK	You Are Amazing! Do Not Let Anyone Tell You Any Different! Yes, It's hard..really hard..BUT You Can REBUILD and you will be STRONGER for it! Easier said then done I know. But I am in a place where I can't blame myself any more for what happened to me. Although, it hurts to remember..I know I can and will overcome this and so can you! You Are Worthy! Worthy of SO much! (yes, that does include love & happiness) Don't let what happened bring you down otherwise they win. I'm not saying you're not allowed to cry or anything because that's a part of healing. Just focus on the future, tomorrow not yesterday. Most importantly remember: You Are Not Alone! This project proves that. So keep your head up and embrace your life, this is only the beginning! x X x M x X x
nezavisna_bumbar Australia	I look at myself back then and I see myself now. Then, I thought I deserved it and kind of shrugged off that there could be a better life out there. Shame spilled over me as I faced my friends and family too worried about the judgment they would caste upon me. I felt weak, pathetic and I expected better from myself. The way I looked down on myself what the biggest torture. Now, I am healing. Some good days and some bad day and then you get the occasional off my rocket day where I don't know what feelings go where and how to react to the simplest of things. Best thing, I am for the first time in my entire life safe in my own home. No harsh words and no hand to control me and most of all support in the last place I would think to find it. I know everyone says it and it is easier said than done, but please if you are in a situation such as any of our stories take our courage and use our life experiences to drive you for the happy ending you deserve.
100953 New South Wales	June 2008 I first joined this project late last year as a survivor; I now re-join as a supporter. It has been a year since I was raped, and that night--Thursday 7 June 2007--remains forever emblazoned in my mind. There are some things that you simply cannot forget, and this is certainly one of them. Having said that, though, I want to send a message to all the other survivors out there to believe in yourself and never give up. I have since gone somehere new--started a new job, a new degree, new surroundings--and I have met people who have made me feel worthwhile again. You can, too...and little pieces of your soul will start to come back. Stay strong.
prkaur Wolverhampton, United Kingdom	Please spread the word.
forgetmenot UK	It is true. Accept you are blameless, because it is true. Completely and utterly blameless. No guilt, no shame. Full stop/period. Yes....Please do spread the word. If you can put something up at your school or even student union, you could be saving someone's life. A quote I like: 'Our lives are like the course of the sun. At the darkest moment there is always the promise of daylight.' It's maybe a little naff..well, actually, it isn't, but the words of the song 'Somewhere' sung by Leona Lewis and Il Divo sums up how I feel. I am holding your hand. God will hold your hand. Someone will always hold your hand. I healed. You will heal. Have no doubts and fight the thoughts that tell you otherwise. Strong thoughts lead to a strong will. You did nothing wrong. I think we are part of something incredibly special here. Don't give up or give in. Believe... Much love xxxxx
Bec Atkins Adelaide, Australia	You are strong, you are beautiful. Those who judge you haven’t got a clue as to what it takes to make it through the darkness. hugs and brightest blessings to you all.
bien_ecouter Texas	You are loved!
no1bunches Northridge, CA	Although I may appear to be quite biased, I happen to think that this project is incredible. David and I have been married for 7 and a half years and I have never seen him more passionate or more dedicated about any project he's ever worked on. He is the most giving and generous person I've ever met and this project displays his true talents and his true kindness. My heart goes out to anyone who has been a part of such a horrible tragedy as rape and/or sexual abuse. Although I am not a victim, I know other people who are and I do know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. There are a tremendous amount of people who care and want to help. Try to stay positive and you will come out on the other side a stronger, more positive person.
Linda Rivadeneyra Pasadena	I was introduced to this website yesterday by the artist. I am blown away by the power of this project! I don't know of any other website like this. I am not a survivor, however, I have worked with many survivors in my line of work as a therapist. What a wonderful way for survivors to share their stories and break the isolation of their experiences. I hope this website continues to be available for survivors even after the drawing is completed.
Sparky Ohio, United States	I have helped my girlfriend through feelings about her three rapes. I am helping her heal.
